Underage Candidates Seeking Admission Must Score A Minimum Of 320 In UTME

 For under-16 candidates dreaming of early university admission in Nigeria, brilliance must now meet a near-impossible standard: scoring at least 320 in UTME, 80% in Post-UTME, and 80% in a single sitting of WAEC or NECO, with Mathematics or English among the top subjects. JAMB has raised the bar sky-high, making the path open only to the truly exceptional. But here’s the question: how many ‘exceptional’ students can realistically cross this bar, and is JAMB protecting standards or shutting the door on young prodigies?

Underage candidates seeking admission must score

- A minimum UTME score of 320 out of 400 (80%);

- Post-UTME score of at least 80%

- Minimum of 80% in a single sitting of WAEC or NECO, equivalent to 24 points out of 30.

For Science candidates, Mathematics must be among the top scoring subjects and English Language for Arts candidates.
